Best for GPS time clock and mileage for field staff
Timeero is a time clock with GPS and mileage for staff out in the field. Basic stops at 10 users, scheduling needs Pro and the API needs Premium, and SMS texts are billed on top.
Who Timeero is for
- Fits if you manage staff on the road and need GPS clock-ins and mileage
- Works for crews that export hours to payroll
Who Timeero is not for
- Tight if you stay on Basic, which is capped at 10 users and has no scheduling or geofencing
- Pricey if you add segmented tracking from $5 or messaging at $2 a user
- Watch out: the API, time off and facial recognition need Premium at $10
- Watch out: SMS notifications are billed at about $0.02 a message

Keep Timeero, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Timeero you could make: time tracking and time off. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 45 of the 69 other time tracking apps grade higher. It costs $60 a year.
What you could make
- Time tracking and time off: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Clocking in from a phone, checked against where and when.
- A rota the whole staff sees on their phones, with swaps and alerts.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, QuickBooks, Gusto and ADP among them, and has an API.
What this rests on. Timeero’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
